Music Break Featuring "Ajumma" Kang Ji Min

In a country that has perfected bubble-gum pop, South Korea has pretty much ignored folk music ("the real music") and folk musicians.

The Korean ajumma above is Kang Ji Min, and she sings both Korean and American pop classics. Her voice in this rendition of "Without You" is almost perfect. It is pure and powerful but not showy, unlike the Mariah Carey's version.
